Awd Dicky Thompson he had a grey mare
And he took her away till Sedgefield Fair
But he browt her back whoa yes he did

Now he turned her away into Wragby Wood
He thowt his awd mare might deea some good
But she ran her awd head right intiv a tree
Gor dang says Dick toawd mare'll dee
Singin' Titty fa lairy fire up Mary

And her poor awd belly began for to ruttle
